Story Behind The Song

I BECAME AN "ACCIDENTAL" CHILDREN'S PERFORMER YEARS AGO WHEN I RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO DO THE MUSIC FOR A TOURING EDUCATIONAL THEATER TROUPE THAT I WROTE MUSIC FOR....I OBSERVED HOW INTIMIDATED SOME CHILDREN CAN BECOME BY OTHERS AND WANTED TO WRITE SOMETHING CLAM AND ENCOURAGING FOR KIDS...I OPENED THE SHOW WITH THIS SONG SO THAT THE CHILDREN WOULD CALM DOWN AND LISTEN....THEY DID, AND WHEN 3 LITTLE GIRLS CAME UP TO ME AFTER THE SHOW AND ASKED ME ABOUT "THAT FLY SONG" AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THEIR FAVORITE SONG EVER , I WAS HOOKED.

Song Description

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED BY OTHER PEOPLE...BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOU'LL FLY

Lyrics

TITLE: WE CAN FLY

vs:
HERE WE ARE WITH ALL OUR FRIENDS
WORK IS DONE AND PLAY BEGINS
CELEBRATING HOW WE LOVE OUR SPECIAL FRIENDS
WE MAY HAVE THOUGHT SOME NASTY THOUGHTS
WHILE WE WERE LEARNING LESSONS
NOW LESSONS LEARNED, FRIENDSHIP BEGINS AND IT'S ALL WELL EARNED

chorus:
I KNOW THAT YOU AND I
AND REACH AND TOUCH THE SKY
DON'T BOTHER ASKING ME WHY
JUST SPREAD YOUR WINGS....AND YOU'LL FLY

vs:
IT'S SO NICE TO MEET NEW FRIENDS
WHO KNOW THAT LOVE IS SPECIAL
THE DAY WILL COME WHEN WE MUST SHARE AND SHOW WE CARE

chorus:
I KNOW THAT YOU AND I
CAN REACH AND TOUCH THE SKY
DON'T BOTHER ASKING WHY
JUST SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY!

bridge:
KNOW IN YOUR HEART WHEN PEOPLE DON'T THINK YOU'RE SMART
YOU TELL THEM JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT BECOMES OF ME!

chorus:
I KNOW THAT YOU AND I
CAN REACH AND TOUCH THE SKY
DON'T BOTHER ASKING ME WHY
JUST SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND....YOU'LL FLY!
